CHARLES WILSON PEALE Philadelphia. 
Portrait. 


A very curious old Picture—The Portrait is of James Gallaway, and painted by Charles 
Wilson Peale for his collection in the old Philadelphia Museum, James Gallaway was born in 
Dublin, Ireland. When he was seventeen years old, he entered on board ship of war, and was 
at the siege of Carthagena, when by an accident, four cartridges took fire,and burnt him, espe- 
cially about his breast, in a terrible manner. This burn was for many years a bad sore, and it 
had at last healed up, when it was again unfortunately hurt. As the bruise was getting well 
again, a small horn, the size of a thumb nail, appeared on the part, which has since continued 
to increase so much in size, as to render three amputations necessary. From December, 1794 
to August, 1795, it had grown rather more than two inchesin length. A piece of this horn is in 
the Museum amongst the Anatomical Articles.

Dante and Beatrice. 


The point chosen by the Artist for the subject of his picture in the first Canto of the 
“Paradiso” or third grand division of the “Divina Commedia”, The passage as translated by 
Oary into blank verse, runs thus—Her eyes fast fixed on the eternal wheels, Beatrice stood un- 
moved, and I with ken fixed upon her, from upward gaze removed at her aspect, such inwardly 
became as Glaucus, when he tasted of the herb that made him peer among the ocean gods: 
words may not tell of that transhuman change.” Dante first saw Beatrice Portinari at Fiorence, 
their native city, in the year 1274, when he was in the twentieth year, and was so struck with 
that passionate admiration, that he venerated her almost as something superhuman. She be- 
came the wife of Simone de Bardi at some period prior to 1287, and she died in 1290. Soon after 
her death, Dante published his ‘Vita Nuova’? (New Life,) in which are exstatic effusions, ex- 
pressive of his love and that remarkable aspiration that God would take him to himself after he 
had written of Beatrice such things as had never yet been writtenof woman. The prayer was 
answered literally. The “Divine Commedia” was finished twenty-five years later, being writ- 
ten during the nineteen years that intervened between his banishment from Florence and his 
death at Ravenna in 1321.

Cupid, blindfold and prostrate on the ground, is suffering punishment from a vindictive

neath the shades of a loyal homestead of Eastern Pennsylvania. The bride is welccmed in the 
family at the old homestead, the aoa elie: to liberty of whose Friendly proprietors many a sable- 
faced fugitive has witnessed. 

The widowed mother in a secluded corner mourns her loss, meditating on the pictured ¢ ex- 
pression of her partner, who returns not with the rest, while the little pledge of their love 
essays to comfort and console, 

The table is being spread for the feast in front of the old substantial stone mansion whose | 
walls are half covered with clinging ivy, and a path irregularly paved with slabs of stone leads” 
up through the yard to a quaint old portico covering the door. 


Standing by the pump with modest expression, the damsel espies in the young oavatees v 


man. (just arrived) the long absent lover, who is being welcomed by members of the family 
(along with the colored standard-bearer) to the feast. 
Grouped around the table in the centre are the political disputants, and the difference 
that excites the spirit and animus between the soldier and his antagonist is the negro. 
Beneath the arbor the mother receives her wounded son: “the long-look’d-for has come 


at last. 
The whole is a scene representing such peace as an intelligent. republican community 


would have, with doors thrown liberally open, gates swung back, a sociability that sinks all per- 
sonal hostility, no passive indifference to the duties of the hour, but recognized responsibility; 


not all mourning for individual loss, nor exultant in victory, but exhibiting an fareleent sub. — 


mission to the philosophy of events. 


Around the officer in the foreground are grouped his listening family and friends, whose © 


attentive faces bear his welcome as he relates his experience and incidents of war, while the 
children around, catching up the spirit of the scene, are mimicking battle with their fathers’ 
cast-off swords and guns, or watching the amusing pranks of the playful kittens, hee 
from intrusion by their indignant mother.

This Picture appears to belong to the School of Bologna, and is of a pleasing style of 
composition and color. The artist has introduced the instrument so common in pictures by 


‘the old masters—the viol, being more impressed with the sweetness and expressiveness of the 3 
tones it breathes, than deterred from representing an object so deficient in grace and form.

Apelle’s Dream of Beauty. 

The author of this picture is commonly known as the ‘“* Poet Painter” from his produc- 
tions in both the sister arts. In fact his reputation rests more on the poetry he has written 
than the pictures he has painted. The delicacy of his taste influenced him in selection of sub- | 
ject for painting of the class to which this belongs. 


Apelles was one of the most celebrated painters of antiquity. He was born in the Isle . 
of Cos, and flourished about the time of Alexander the Great, with whom he was in high favor. |

The Changed Cross. iosenialy sa ae tl 


The picture represents a lovely female in sombre garb, the type of religious pas “it ap 7 


uses of Adversity,” and buoys up the soul superior to all earthly trials. She bemoans her path eu. 


in life as darker than that of all others, and putting by cross after cross, or trust after trust, she 


finally discovers one upon her pathway entwined and crowned with flowers. She is about to 
embrace this emblem of Temptation, but suddenly discovers ar the roses are interwoven 
with thorns. 


She drops it in despair, and sadly cries. ‘‘My Cross I cannot bear”—when suddenly a — 


light appears in her pathway—a form appears, bearing the plain but potent cross of true faith. 
The picture is sublime in conception and grand in Mehaeors well diversified with rock, 
foliage, figures, and characteristic facial delineation. 
As a vivid picture, a gem of art, an ornament. and an eloquent and imgressive ieee it 
possesses an especiality which commends it to every heart, hall and household, 


It was a time of sadness, and my Wey 
Although it knew and loved the better part, 
Felt wearied with the conflict and the strife, 
And all the needful discipline of life. 


And while I thought on these as given to me— 
My trial test of faith and love to be— 

It seemed as if I never could be sure 

That faithful to the end I should endure. 


And thus no longer trusting to His might, 

Who says, *“ we shall walk by faith, and not by sight,” 
Doubting, and almost yielding to despair, 

The thought arose—My cross I cannot bear. 


Far heavier its weight must surely be 

Than those of others which I daily see; 

Oh! If I might another burden choose, 
Methinks I should not fear my crown to lose. 


A solemn silence reigned on all around— 

F’en Nature’s voices uttered not a sound; 
The’ Evening shadows seemed of peace to tell, 
And sleep upon my weary spirit fell. 


A moment’s pause, and then a heavenly light 
Beamed full upon my wondering raptured sight ; 
Angels on silvery wings seemed everywhere, 
And angels’ music thrilled the balmy air. 


Then one more fair than all the rest to see— 
One to whom all others bowed the knee— 
Came gently to me as I trembling lay, 

And, “ follow me,’ He said, “I am the way.”’ 


Then speaking thus, He led me far above; 
And there beneath a canopy of love, 
Crosses of divers shape and size were seen. 
Larger and smaller than my own had been. 


And one there was most beautious to behold— 
A little one with jewels set in gold; 

At! this, methought I can with comfort wear, 
For it will be an easy one to bear. 


And so the little cross I quickly took, 

But all at once my frame beneath it shook ; 
The sparkling jewels fair were they to see, 
But far too heavy was their weight for me. 


SE ae ae 7 


Se ese

This may not be, I cried, and looked again, 

To see if there was any here could ease my pain, 
But one by oneI passed them slowly by, 

Till on a lovely one I cast my eye. 


Fair flowers around its sculptured form entwined, 
And grace and beauty seemed in it combined; 
Wondering, I gazed, and still I wondered more 
To think so many should have passed it o’er. 


But oh! that form so beautiful to see 

Soon made its hidden sorrow known to me; 
Thorns lay beneath those flowers and colors fair; 
Sorrowing I said “ This cross I may not bear.” 


And so it was with each and all around,— 

Not one to suit my need could there be found; 
Weeping, I laid each heavy burden down, 

As my guide gently said, “ No cross, no crown!” 


At length to him I raised my saddened heart; 

He knew its sorrows, bid its doubts depart. . 

“ Be not afraid,’ He said, ‘‘ But trust in Me,— 
My perfect love shall now be shown to thee.”’ 


And then with lightened eyes and willing feet, 
Again I turned my earthly cross to meet, 
With forward footsteps, turning not aside, 

For fear some hidden evil might betide. 


And there, in the prepared, appointed way— 
Listening to hear and ready to obey— 

A cross I quickly found of plainest form, 
With only words of love inscribed thereon. 


With thankfulness I raised it from the rest, 
And joyfully acknowledged it the best,— 
The only one of all the many there 

That I could feel was good for me to bear. 


And while I thus my chosen one confessed, 
I saw a heavenly brightness on it rest; 
And as I bent my burden to sustain, 

I recognized my own old cross again. 


But oh! how different did it seem to be, 
Now I had learned its preciousness to see! 
No longer could I unbelieving say, 
Perhaps another is a better way. 


Ah, no! henceforth my own desire shall be, 
That He who knows me best shall choose for me ; 
And so whate’er his love sees good to send, 

Tl trust it’s best because he knows the end.

Saint Paul. 


aie This picture is painted with extraordinary force and decision, and yet it cannot be termed 
rude or coarse inits execution itis simply the freedom of perfect mastery, by one of the best 
artists of the great school of Spain. 

St. Paul and &t. Peter, occupy the first place among the Apostles. St. Peter more espec- 
jally represented the converted Jews and St. Puul the Gentiles; together they represent the 
Universal Church. There are few legends connected with St. Paul, but the scenes of his life 
as given in the gospel, have furnished inexhaustible subjects for the illustrations of art. 

Paul bears the sword in a double sense, signifying his spiritual warfare and the manner of 
his death. He also has a book or scroll and sometimes twelve rolls, representing his epistles. 
When he leans on his sword, it is his death which is represented. The church called ‘San 

Paolo delle Tre Fontane’’ near Rome, is built over three fountains which are said to have 
| sprung up at three places where the head of St. Paul fell and bounded, after being cut off by 
the executioner, His remains lie in the Church of the Vatican at Rome.

Sir Thomas Moore taking leave of his Daughter. 


This fine picture represents the parting of Sir Thomas Moore from his daughter Margaret 
just before his execution at the Tower of London, July 5th, 1535. The scene is placed in one of 
the Courts not far from the bridge, over the moat which he has yet to cross before reaching the 
place of execution. The famous White Tower is seen high up in the back ground. The cause 
which led to his death at the hand of the executioner, was his disapproval of the divorce of 
Henry the VIII from Katharine of Arragon and his subsequent marriage with Anne Boleyn. 
Refusing to take the oath enjoined by the “Act of Supremacy.” he was committed to the 
Tower, and after fifteen months imprisonment was tried for High Treason, in denying the 
Kings Supremacy over the church. He was found guilty, and beheaded. His body was 
first interred in the Tower~was begged by his daughter Margaret, and deposited at the 
chancel of the Church of Chelsea, where a monument with an tnscription written by him- 
self, had been sometime before erected. His head had been affixed over the gate on London 
Sridge, a grim spectacle for fourteen days, at the expiration of which time his affectionate 
daughter contrived to remove it secretly and in the night time, and placed it in a vault belong- 
ing to her husband’s family, (the Ropers) under a Chapel adjourning St. Dunstan’s Church at

Death of Anna, Wife of General Garibaldi. 


“Anna Garibaldi, wife of General Guiseppe Garibaldi, was born at Marinhos, in the Prov- 
ince of St. Catharine, Brazil. She died a patriotic fugitive in the marshes near Mesola, at the 
mouth of the river Po, near Venice.” 

The bereaved Garibaldi thus writes of her—‘‘ Italy thou hast the ashes of Dante, the most 
celebrated of Italians; receive the bones of the American Amazon, the martyr of Italian Liberty 

‘and place them near the ashes of vour great men, and under their protection; and you will take 

part in the pious deed—all you Italians who ever knew her. *‘ Every friend of our country will 
bless her, and the orphan children; and they and I will implore the benediction of God upon 
you, and the remembrance, not only of Italy, but of the New World, their birthplace and her 
own.” 

A poet thus apostrophises her:— 


Italia! I thank thee for life and for power, 

To fight with the foes of thyself and mankind; 
But now, in afflictions dark, gloomiest hour, 
Task but one grave in thy bosom to find. 


On. guard well my treasure! T trust her to thee, 

Once the country of freedom, art beauty and song: 
They rest with the martyrs who slumber in thee, 

But bequeath us their sorrows, how deep and how long! 


The noblest of women now sinks on thy breast, 
Though born not nor cherished, nor welcomed by thee, 
In this lone desert region permit her to rest— 

Though thy living are bondsmen, thy dead are all free.

’ This picture might appropriately be called the * Haven of rest,’ for the scene presented 
jn the lower portion is a harbor with a mole forming a refuge from storms, and vessels are seen 
within its shelter. All this has reference, no doubt, to the Saint’s rest depicted above, where 
we see prophets and saints assembled in heaven after the voyage of life through a sea of adver- 
sity. Beginning cn the left of the group we see Abraham, his hand arrested by an Angel as he 
is about to sacrifiice Isaac. Next are St. Anthony, St. Paul, John the Baptist with the usual 
cross and scrip, St. Peter with his keys, Moses. whose head rays vut light, St. Jerome, the three 
Marys, St. Vincent de Paul, clothed in sacredotal robes, the patron saint of forlorn children. 
Constantine the Great relating his heavenly vision of the Cross to St. Andrew and St. Mark, 
The prophet Isaiah and others complete the group to the right. In the centre at the top 
amidst a bright glory, is seen the Saviour and beneath him the Holy Spirit descends in the form 
of a white dove. 


N. B.—This magnificent and grand Old Master painted 400 years ago,

The Escape from the Fire. 


This is an excellent example of the artistic abilities of the Antwerp painter Wittkamip, 
and is one of the several pictures he produced at a certain period of his career, during which 
he made his effects depend more on a sharp contrast of warm and cold colors than on light and 
shade. Generally his warm light was from the sun low down near the borizon, when its light 
is reddish, but in this work it is produced by the light of the burning building trom which the 
mother is escaping with the sleeping infant clasped close to her sheltering bosom, the cold 
night reflections filling allthe shadows, The scene being at night accounts properly and truth- 
lully for the lone tone of the picture. The drawing is in a bold and noble style—the contrasted 
action shcolarly and atth same iime natural, and the entire work in all its qualities, masterly. 
The American reputation of this Belgian artist was first created by his great picture, * The 
Relief of Leyden,” belonging to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. The companion 
picture of the same colossal dimensions, is iu the Town Hall of Leyden, Holland—having been 
purchased from the artist by that city.

He was the greatest artist of the Bolognese school, and (together with his cousin Ludo- 
vico, and his brother Agostino the engraver,) was foremost in the art revival in Italy at the 
close of the sixteenth century. The character and value of the instruction imparted by this 
eminent trio, may be inferred from the galaxy of talent developed under them; among whom 
were such men as Dominichino, Guido, Guercino, Passarotti, Tiarinni and many others. 

He was born in 1560 and died at the age of 49. His principal work is the decoration of the 
Farnese Gallery at Rome, which occupied him eight years.
